Free printable cryptogram puzzles

A cryptogram hides a quote behind a code, where each letter stands for another. You work out the quote one letter at a time. Each letter gets its own big box with the code letter underneath.

Quotes come from a bank of old favourites, and the author is printed as a clue. Choose how much help you want: four letters filled in, two, or none. The answer page shows the whole quote.

Questions

How do I solve a cryptogram?

Each code letter always stands for the same real letter. Start with short words like A or I, and look for the same letter pairs, such as TH.

Can I get hints?

Yes. Easy fills in four letters for you and Medium fills in two. The author is always printed.

Where do the quotes come from?

They are old, well-known quotations that are in the public domain.
